WITH R.EFER.ENCE TO R.OMANCE " E DWARD will never go any place," she said, "and I must say it's a relief to get out and see some nigh t life. Places and people! That beau- tiful dress over there, that black one, with gold from the hem to the waist! Mainbocher! I haven't seen a Main- bocher in a year. Look at it, Ezra." Ezra ordered two Cutty Sarks with plain water, and looked at the black and gold, gold sprawling over black; and he looked sidewise, too, at the woman beside him, and thought how handsome she was. He had always thought her handsome, he remembered. "There we live in the country, year in and year out," she went on, "and Edward is perfectly happy with his horses and his dogs, and never in the world do I see a Mainhocher, or any- thing at all.
